I'm repetitive in the following ways
I wear the same clothes (bought extra of everything).
I wash my hands every ten minutes, to the dot. Never a minute early never a minute late. Started this at school.
I can watch the same film over and over. I know most of the lines, know what's coming but I never get tired of it.
Listen to the same songs and singers every day, usually in the same order.
Read the same books over and over.
Eat the same foods and drink the same drinks.
When I go for a walk I always go the same way each time. Prefer to follow route that I'm familiar with.
Always check ‘keys phone purse’ whenever I leave the house. I know when I’m especially anxious because then I do it more often.
I often reach the end of my street and have to go back to check that I did indeed lock the front door.
Ah yes that is a very valid point! Again when the anxiety is especially bad, the second-guessing goes through the roof. Not a great way to start the day.
